Description

This is the new-look Informed podcast, all about LinkedIn best practice, hosted for the first time by John Espirian. 

There’s a quick backstory of the handover from the show’s creator, Mark Williams, to John, and then on to listener questions in the Postbag.

Postbag questions

  • Can you deactivate a company page without closing your personal profile?
  • Can you talk about visibility being down on LinkedIn?
  • Should we invest time in making newsletters, livestreams and videos on LinkedIn?
  • How are comment impressions gauged and are they a useful metric?
  • Is post boosting a good idea?

Generative AI data training: how to turn it off if you don’t want to give your data to LinkedIn for free.

Microsoft’s 2026 Q1 results are out, with some nuggets about LinkedIn growth.
